Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PenlaSync at none against HomeDisco's 1. PenlaSync also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). HomeDisco's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
